Bienvenue sur le forum amical de Lucinda redpaul 1.
Just curious, have you been a Lucinda fan for awhile ?
She is embarking on a major Euro tour shortly and has several dates in the UK where you and your band “The pUkes” reside,check her out.
lwjHi lwj (jetta?). No – I’m late to this party too. I’m a big fan of Emmylou Harris, Rosanne Cash & Nanci Griffiths too. I can’t believe I’ve managed to get this far in life without coming across LW before. I learnt about the tour thanks to YT – they’ve got this feature now in the ‘About’ box that lets you know if the artist you’re watching is appearing near you in the near future! She’s playing Brighton June 15th and London June 17th. I’m definitely going to one or the other, if not both.

I checked out your website link and loved the video “Because You’re Young”-a very happy tune to wake up to on a Saturday morning with almost 20 ukuleles going full tilt.

Thanks for the pUkes info, Lwj. Enjoyed the videos. I am a Florida uke-aholic and have actually been noodling with some Lu stuff on my ukes.
Glad you both enjoyed the video – I’m the one getting slapped about! The ukulele incidentally is what that brought me to Lucinda: a ukulele bulletin board I subscribe to runs an informal weekly competition in which you all submit tunes on a particular theme. This week’s theme is ”Louisiana’. Researching for that led me to ‘Crescent City’… et tout le reste est littérature! 🙂
Hey redpaul 1, just a heads up Lucinda plays the Brighton Dome on May 15th.
Hope you get to see her sometime on this tour.lwj

(Hope I’m more successful with this post – I just got told off for being a well-known spammer!). Yes you’re right about the Brighton show being tomorrow – it’s a mad schedule though isn’t it? Brighton’s about 50 miles, or an hour’s drive from London, yet it’s taking Lucinda over a month to get from there to here – via Sweden, Germany and Spain, and points in between! At least she gets a day off between Bilbao on June 15th and London on June 17th. I saw (just) her UK dates on Songkick, and I think my brain simply refused to compute the month’s difference between the Brighton and London shows!
Anyway, I’ve got my tix for the London show – it looks like it’s selling pretty fast. There were only 7 tix left in the stalls when I booked, and the circle and balcony were filling up fast too. Should be a great night!
It was a fantastic show by the way. The Barbican Theatre may be too formal a space (no dancing!!!), but a fantastic performance from beginning to end 🙂
By the way, I’ve just been back and edited the Wikipedia entry to bring it up to date with the discussion here.

Actually she says “Tout est en son temps” which means
everything in time and/or
everything falls into place and/or
let’s time to the time.
The general idea is “everything will happen in time, don’t worry and be patient”.Later she says “et laissez le bon temps rouler” which means “let’s the good times roll”
I just received in the mail the quarterly issue of CAA magazine from my auto club membership. (same as AAA in the U.S.) It featured a great road trip article on scenic music trails of the Southeast U.S. and showed a picture of Fred’s Lounge.
Y’all will note the picture of Fred’s Lounge in Mamou, LA from the link below with “Laissez les bon temps rouler!” painted on the building.
So I have a couple of comments.
1. Did Lucinda get the inspiration of her Crescent City lyrics from this bar ?
2. I looked in the new liner notes for the re, re, release of her self-titled and the lyric line is as follows:
“And laissez le bon ton roulet”
So do you think it’s merely a typo in the booklet or what ?Sure looks like a cool Cajun bar with real early opening hours.

p.s just a filler thread for discussion until Lu’s World tour of LA starts. 😆
